Bannon claims Trump has been 'bought' over his change in position, regarding the banning of Tiktok.

The optics on this story, if true, are not good. Trump changed his tune after meeting with conservative hedge fund manager, Jeff Yass, who has a 33% stake in Tiktok.
Either A) Trump was bought or B) there other plans for Tiktok when he becomes President again and he doesn't want congress to spoil that right now. Which would go more in line with cleaning out CCP influence.
What do you think?
Trump ordered troop removals and the generals violated his orders, did the opposite, and didn’t tell him. Not sure what a President is able to do if he issues an order as Commander in Chief, and the system is so corrupt the hierarchy under him doesn’t follow the order. Eventually he flew into the war zone himself and demanded to speak to people on the ground about what was happening and why his orders were being ignored. This is how he defeated ISIS actually. Mattis refused to finish them off and claimed it was impossible and would take years and years. Trump flew in himself and met the men on the ground who explained ISIS could be defeated in a few days but the generals wouldn’t allow it.
There were several times when Trump ordered things to be declassified and then the entire bureaucratic hierarchy refused to do so. It’s like demanding the President stop all crime. He could sign certain Executive Orders, he could speak out publicly, he could fire and replace certain people, but if the entire police force refuses to police crime, is the President supposed to walk the streets in all 50 states at once stopping crime? And if so, how?
